The new guy RonMac562

[RonMac562]

Hey folks, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my T "Webbie"... Yes, I know the name is an obvious one for a T, but since she was a birthday gift for my 5 year old (he asked for a T specifically), I left it up to him to name her. The name fits though, as soon as she went into her new home, she got to work building herself a nice tubular Web in which she spends a lot of time, either deep inside or hanging out at the entrance... Anywho, that's enough of my rambling, she was purchased as a "pinktoe" and upon reading up on these guys, seems to be an Avic. avic. But I welcome anyone's educated opinion on the specifics... So here she is...

I also want to add, I haven't confirmed sex yet but I keep calling her a her in hopes that somehow it makes her more likely to be female...

Thank you for the info, that's pretty much what I came up with as well so it's nice to confirm that with someone who knows more than I do... I can't wait to add to my collection but enjoying learning about these guys as I get deeper into the hobby...

I love avics, the way they move like they are floating, just make sure she has plenty of ventilation, fresh clean water available and ignore Internet caresheets! Those sheets are avic killers.
Everyone here is friendly and always willing to help Webby looks great. Glad your beginning this fascinating journey into arachnids with us
